The cheapest and most frequent flights depart from
gateway cities such as Miami and New York. Flights from the
latter average about US$450-550.
As there are no non-stop scheduled flights to the Dominican
Republic from the UK, many British and Irish visitors to the
Dominican Republic arrive on a charter flight as part of a
package holiday, though you can also fly via the States or
various stops in Europe; try Iberia Airlines for the least
expensive deals.
Visitors from Australia and New Zealand will need to travel
first to the US or Europe and pick up onward connections
from there. Most flights go into Santo Domingo, but some fly
into Puerto Plata.
Options for arriving in the Dominican Republic by boat
are mostly limited to hitting the country as one of the
ports of call on a longer Caribbean cruise .

Otherwise, it is possible to arrive via ferry from
Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, on Ferias del Caribe (phone #
809/688-4400, Puerto Rico phone 787/832-4800), but it's a
long, uncomfortable overnight trip.
Ferries depart Mayaguez three times a week; the cost is
US$144 one-way, plus the US$10 entry tax and US$60 for a
private cabin.
